I can’t see Kasich or Cheney as viable candidates. Kasich pissed off the Trump voter, and showed himself to be too establishment. I liked him until his 2016 bid (and I would have rather had Rand Paul than Kasich or Trump). Cheney wouldn’t stand a chance. Establishment, last name, and hated by the Trump voter.
I could see an independant candidate spoiling any Republican bid. Trump was only popular with a type of voter. January 6 demonstrated who he is and his followers are now being sentenced to prison terms for which he will probably pardon day one. Plus, many supporters are dead or dying of COVID-19. There is nothing like death and jail time to jar someone not otherwise staying informed.

The Florida governor has blood on his hands due to inaction and lack of leadership to sheild and protect his state.

Kasich and Cheney are decent people and why they would have my support.
